CHAPTER XIV

The forest is silent, leaving the breeze to sweep the sound of the branches and leaves, the plum blossoms in the garden, such as the white and elegant Jiangmei, the jade butterfly and the pink and light makeup of the palace powder, the color such as the cinnabar of Danxia and other varieties are actually there to have, open wanton and coquettish, if the white rainbow runs through the sun in the sun, the clouds are steaming. I couldn't help but take two steps closer and lean over cautiously, my nose pressed against the delicate petals, and a very delicate fragrance came to my nose.

"Do you know what kind of flower this is?" Coldly, a cold voice sounded.

I was stunned, and my steps involuntarily retreated, and I saw a touch of white clothes through the shadow of the flower. I made up my mind, brushed aside the bouquet of flowers in front of me, and finally saw the man in front of me clearly.

Between the eyebrows is still cold with its own coldness, in addition to that arrogance, he is humble in white clothes, bright eyes and bright teeth, worthy of the posture of heaven and man, the son is unparalleled in the world.

When I saw that face clearly, I calmed down and sighed softly, but I didn't expect that the rare silence was exchanged for this chance encounter, and I couldn't help but hook my lips and chuckle: "Who am I, it was His Royal Highness King Luo." ”

"Miss Su!" He should have recognized me a long time ago, and he was not surprised, and there was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, like the earliest ray of sunshine in the winter morning, "Today, this king is so blessed to be able to meet Miss." ”

I smiled shallowly and owed a so-so debt: "Why did Your Highness come to the palace today?" ”

"Come and say hello to the emperor." He smiled, and his eyes moved to the plum tree on the side: "I didn't expect to meet Miss Su, this trip is worth it." ”

I saw that he was relaxed, not like he was in a hurry to leave, my heart floated a little uneasy, in any case, the battle on the bow field that day was not a good memory, just wanted to leave under the pretext, but I didn't plan for a good wording, but I heard him suddenly speak: "Miss Su seems to like plum blossoms very much?" ”

I had to look up at him, and his gaze was cold, with a sharp edge as a mist, which seemed to have penetrated my thoughts.

"The shadow is sparse, the water is shallow, and the dark fragrance floats in the dusk of the moon." I chuckled: "The plum blossoms are noble and dignified, lonely and super-elegant, how can they not make people feel pity." ”

He condensed slightly, seemed to be thoughtful, walked over slowly, stretched out his hand and sniffed one between his fingers: "Indeed, Miss Su's two poems simply convey the temperament and demeanor of plum blossoms to the essence." ”

I was noncommittal, silently looking at him, he was very close to me, the corners of his clothes almost fluttered on my shirt, I reached out and brushed the sideburns that were blown up by the wind, and quietly took a step back, today he seems to be a little different from the past, standing quietly among the plum blossoms, his eyes are rare and pure, without the edge of the past.

His hand was on a bouquet of plum blossoms, and the corners of his lips hooked a smile, but his voice revealed a trace of desolation and coldness: "There is also a plum forest in our Xingyao Palace, which is the favorite place of the concubine. ”

"Princess Lorraine is a gentleman." At this moment, I finally thought of who the concubine in Huaibi's mouth was! Thinking of the princess who married far away, I couldn't help but feel a little emotional, in that strange place, only the flowers and plants in her hometown could make her feel at ease. "With these plum blossoms with her, she must be able to talk about the princess's homesickness."

He sighed slightly and looked up at me: "Homesickness? He repeated my words softly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Perhaps! ”

I was a little uneasy, lowered my eyelids, and didn't dare to say anything more.

His gaze was fixed on me, and after a moment, he sighed faintly: "Miss Su, would you like to take a look at the stars?" The plum blossoms in the Xingyao Palace are even more beautiful than here! ”

I was stunned, reflexively refused: "There is beauty in my heart, there are scenery everywhere, if it is for flower appreciation, why bother to travel far away, at this time the plum blossoms on Lanshan are in full bloom, if His Royal Highness likes it, you can live in Tianyu for a long time, isn't it the best of both worlds." ”

The sunlight shone on his body through the branches of the plum tree, covering his handsome face with a layer of sparse light spots, his eyes were blurred, and there was a light touch of melancholy between his lips and teeth, like the frost on the roof tiles of the Zhengyuan Palace, soaked in the cold air to the bone, and sighed, "There are no two things in the world!" ”

My heart moved slightly, yes! How can the world come to say both, his expression is desolate, I am rare to be a little soft-hearted, I want to comfort two sentences, but the old things, mostly some old grievances in the palace, I am just a passerby to say too much but useless, the words on the lips finally swallowed.

It's rare, we are all a little silent, I tried to say something, but I couldn't speak, his eyes were a little burning, so I was a little uncomfortable, and I couldn't help but scold Huaibi for going really not at the right time, such a distance, why haven't I come back yet, however, in any case, the far water can't save the near fire, now, I can only save myself, "Your Highness, I've been out for a long time, so I won't accompany Your Highness to enjoy the flowers, farewell!" ”

He was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled, "What are you afraid of me?" ”

When he said this, I was a little unconvinced, and I looked back at him: "Where am I afraid of you?!" ”

"Oh?" He chuckled: "I'm not afraid!" So why do you want to get out of the way? As he spoke, he curled the corners of his lips, "Is the palace maid who got your clothes back?" ”

"You're following me!" It turned out that he had already come so early, and I didn't even notice it, and I was a little annoyed.

"I also passed by by accident, but I arrived one step later than you, and I saw that your attention was on the plum blossoms, so I didn't bother!" A smile deepened on his lips.

I frowned slightly, I didn't believe it, and only then did I react, how could he, a prince from a foreign country, not bring a guard, I'm afraid that I was a little uneasy to see me come with me.

Obviously, he saw my thoughts, hooked his lips and smiled, rare with a bit of solemnity, "It is indeed the king's wish to meet Miss Su Merlin, if there is a chance, I hope that Miss Su can take a look at the stars to fulfill her long-cherished wish." ”

I sneered in my heart, but I just responded lightly, "If there is a chance, I should pay a visit!" ”

He was slightly stunned, but there seemed to be starry light in his clear eyes, and the corners of his lips were full of unlockable surprise, "If there is a day, Mu Yan should sweep the couch and greet him." ”

Now, it's my turn to be a little confused, I look at him, I really don't understand, how can he be as smart as he is, how can he not understand my words.

Fortunately, Huaibi's footsteps finally sounded, and I couldn't help but cheer, and I bowed slightly, "Your Highness, my palace maid has been found, farewell!" ”

He was a little disappointed, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything, looked at me in a daze, finally nodded, and swallowed the words on his lips.

From a distance, Huaibi saw me walking up quickly, and was a little puzzled, "Miss, don't you enjoy the flowers?" ”

She scrambled to put on my clothes.

"Let's go!" I didn't explain, but I was a little uneasy, and for some reason, this chance encounter always gave me some bad premonitions.

Fortunately, after the festival, Mu Yan finally left! My aunt also began to be busy with Hao Xi's wedding, I couldn't help much, I was idle all day, at this time the second brother returned to Beijing, he took me back in the name of not being able to reunite my brothers and sisters during the New Year, although my aunt was a little hesitant, but thinking of staying by my side every day these days, I was afraid that there would be right and wrong, and finally agreed.

The days were getting warmer day by day, I wore a lake blue dress, covered with a coat, the white fluff came out excellently, I was lazy, I sat on the swing and swinged. Although the second brother took me back, the affairs of the ministry were already complicated, and he didn't have much time to accompany me, and I had already turned the whole mansion upside down, but I still felt bored.

"Higher! A little higher! I kept shouting, and the attendants below were frightened, and Huaibi kept persuading beside me: "Miss, you can't go any higher, fall carefully!" ”

I didn't care about all this, they pushed higher and higher in my urging, I was like flying in the sky, breathing in the fresh air, closing my eyes and thinking of myself as a bird whistling in the sky, laughter coming far through the courtyard walls.

Maybe it's because I'm too wanton and indulgent, God has finally come to punish me, my hand slipped, my body has been thrown far away, the feeling of flying out of the air finally made me experience the joy of flying birds, I closed my eyes, and when my mind turned a thousand times, I even thought of this fall I don't know if I can directly travel back to the past. However, I don't want to think about it, a hand has been on my waist, just a slight hook, I fell into a warm embrace, I opened my eyes to see, but I saw a pair of black and bright eyes, warm as jade, ink like a pearl, with a gentle smile, it was Ling Haoxuan. I obviously wanted to dodge, but I saw a small shadow inside, so inadvertently bumped into it, silent for a while, until there were falling flowers floating on my clothes, I suddenly woke up, immediately jumped down, quickly took a step back, a pair of hands immediately supported me, I saw that it was the second brother.

"Why was it so careless!" The second brother looked me up and down carefully, and when he saw that I was fine, he relieved his heart, "What if I fall and get hurt!" ”

As he spoke, he glanced back at the maids and attendants who were kneeling on the ground trembling: "Go to the steward to receive the punishment!" ”

I was startled, grabbed my brother's arm with both hands, shook it again and again, there was already a faint layer of water in my eyes, my brother couldn't bear it, and finally sighed: "I spare you this time, if there is a next time, all of them will be thrown out!" ”

When I saw my brother sparing them, I happily hugged his arm, leaned into his ear, and smiled: "I know that the second brother is the best!" ”

He pretended to be serious, but the smile between his eyebrows and eyes couldn't be hidden: "You don't coax me with these, if there is a next time, I will ground you, ...... grounded" He hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind "Grounded for three days!" ”

Ling Haoxuan suddenly laughed, he really didn't expect the second brother to be ruthless, but he just said the punishment of three days of grounding, and the princesses in the palace didn't go out for a few days.

The second brother was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Your Highness atons for your sins, this sister is really a little stubborn, she has not been afraid of anything since she was a child, she is afraid of being grounded, but she can't be ruthless, and it is useless to be ruthless!" ”

Ling Haoxuan was a little strange, but the second brother didn't dare to say anything under my angry gaze, but I thought that even if I didn't stare at him, he might not be embarrassed to say that I jumped out of the window and escaped......

Ling Haoxuan looked at the expressions of the two of us, smiled with relief, and stopped asking, my face was a little better.
